Nature's Grasp
The Nature's Grasp is a Pre-Hardmode summon weapon found in that fires a green energy beam traveling in a wave pattern. It causes minions to target the enemy hit and briefly increases their damage by 3 against that enemy. Like all summon weapons, it cannot deal critical hits, making certain Glyphs that rely on them useless. The Nature's Grasp can be obtained from Wooden Chests with a 1/10 (10%) chance, or from Thorny Crates with a 1/12 (8.33%) chance after the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated.
Trivia[ | ]
- This weapon's behavior is similar to that of a Whip from the Journey's End update, but it is not the same. Whips pierce and cause minions to target the last enemy hit, and generally have a more reliable effect, whereas the Nature's Grasp appears to use the same targeting mechanism that pressing ⚷ Open / Activate causes when holding a minion summoning item.
- Interestingly, the beam progresses from wavy to straight as it is fired more vertically. This change is purely cosmetic and has little to no effect on the weapon's range.
- Nature's Grasp dropping from Thorny Crates is likely a mistake, as 1.4.3 moved the item from Briar Chests to Wooden Chests.
